Hurling toward home
Baseball pitching is the act of throwing the ball from the mound to home plate to start each play.
The pitcher's role combines physical skill with strategy—selecting pitch types, varying speeds, and locating throws to challenge batters.
A team's pitching staff typically includes starters who pitch multiple innings and relievers who enter later: Their pitching has been dominant all season.
